Clever Exchange.

army contract once-a few years after
the war closed. l got an order for a
lot of fine groceries for officers stores.
Among the rest we're twenty-seven
sacks of Java coflee---a hundred
pounds to the sack. 1t was for sta
ton so far TO the West that the freight
was five cents pound. The coffee
was billed at twenty-sevcn cents a
pound. After while ! received no.
tiicntion that the coffee had been re-
jected, probably on account of mildew
in ocean transportation. / wrote to
have the coffee sent back, and at the
proper time my teams were there to
receive it. When it camc..to the store

"trier" into a few sacks to see If it

The "trier" came out of the first sack

Bill Nye On the Twins.

To be successful twin involves
promptness. 1t is a matter that can
not be postponed. And to be sue
cessful Siamese twin involves even
greater difficulties.
Chang and Eng were raised to meet
a certain demand. The crisis came,
and they were there to meet it. They
came at time when the world was
clamoring for a pair of buff-twins
united at the sternum by means of a
light yellow, first-mortgage bond.
But Chang and Eng were not hap
py, even with their great wealth and
the fame they had acquired working
an entirely new vein.
Nature, which united them so close
ly, had not given them the same ideas
and thoughts. They agreed OH moth
ing, it is said.
One was a Knight of Pythias, while
the other was a Royal Arch Mason, and
the meetings on the same evenings.
People who knew them said that it
was painful to sec the stronger of the
two pull the other twin away to a
Knight of Pythias meeting in which
he felt not the slightest interest or
snaked him to a revival when he want
ed to go to a colored ball.
A neighbor tells me that Chang was
Baptist and believed in immersion.
Eng was doubter, but had to go in
with his brother and be immersed
through hole in the ice.
One wanted to secede at the break
ing out of the war, while the other
wanted to save the country intact and
fight under the starry banner free.
Chang and Eng, though bound to-
gether through life, could not make
their wives live together in the same
house even, and so they were compell-
ed to maintain separate establishment
and to 20 from one to the other try
ing to allay discord.
One of the twins was a good man,
while it is said that the other was a
very successful sinner. In case of
resurrection it is not yet fully settled
how it will be arranged.-Chicago

Angelina's Secret.

Angelina, dost thou love mel"
His accents were sweet and soft
1t is not surprising that they were
soft. He was built that way on gen.
eral principles.
"Of course, Henry, with all my
heart"
"Then fly with me tonight. Let
us leave this house at once and seek
some blessed spot where We two will

earth's joys and sorrows. Hasten. do

AS he delivered this impassioned
speech her face grew bright with an
intense light of joy. Then a thought
seemed to strike her. She had them
often. Her smile was o'erclouded
with look of deepest pain.
"No, no." she sobbed, ~ cannot fly

can you not!"

A dark look of suspicion mantled
his face, and in three strides he had
crossed the room and burst open the
door Of the mysterious chamber.

with a tan-colored, pop-eyed, snub-
nosed Chinese god of pug dog, Hen

simply that much shelled corn. The
soldiers at the post had taken out the

been used in sewing them up, and
every thing had been done to deceive.

npen Session at opera Hall Last
Night.
The entertainment given by the Y.
M. /. last night, in celebration of the
Inauguration of the "open sessions"
which will hereafter become a per-
manent feature of the society, was a
most enjoyable affair, perfectly ar
ranged as to details, and the excellent
manner in which the various numbers
ON the programme were rendered
ID re testimony to the fact that the
society contained musical and oratori-
cal ability of a high order.
A carefully prepared programme
had been arranged for the occasion,
consisting of short addresses, vocal
selectious, instrumental solos and re-
citations, all of which were rendered
in a most admirable mhnner, evilenc-
ing careful preparation beforehand.
The programme as rendered is rs
follows:
Introductory address-President M.
Lacy.
instrumental duet-Violin and pi-
ano-Prof. and Miss Gardiner.
Address =" Sociability u. V.
Sproul.
Vocal solo-Fred. B. Sullivan.
Northumberland. z. Thomas.
Instrumental solo Guitar = Mrs
Thos. w. McCarty.
Addresses. T. Spencer.
Vocal selection-Mrs. DR.. Kannon.

Instrumental duet-Flute and gui-
tar-Messrs. Spencer and Chelf.
Music-Vocal quartette.
Space will not permit extended
mention of the manner in which the
various numbers on the programme
were rendered.
The opening remarks made by the
president were chiefly descriptive of
the history of the society since its first
formation, in June, 1888. 1t had rap
idly grown in membership since that
time, and now branches are to be found
in all the principal cities OF the State,
and included in membership hun
dreds and thousands OF the brightest
young men of the State of CAL
lornia. Great applause greet
ed him at the close Of his remarks.
fhe instrumental solo by Professor
and Miss Gardiner is worthy of special
mention and the admirable manner in
which he handled the violin, testified
to his proficiency as a musician.
The ovation of j. V. Sproul on
"Sociability," displayed a perfect
conce ption OF the subject and oratori-
cal powers of a high order. His ora
ton was we'll received.
Mr.. Spencer's address was princi-
pally descriptive OF the fundamental
principles upon which the society was
founded, in the course OF which he
stated that it was an otfshoot OF the
Roman Catholic church, and being
founded in it was destined to succeed
| The Rev. Henry Noel Morgan, pas
tor at WILMINGTON, who had unexpect
edly arrived, was introduced and
spoke briefly, expatiating upon the
advantages to be derived from mem
bership in the society, and enjoinint

essential to success.
, At the conclusion of the entertain
ment an informal social took place
, followed by dancing, which was in
dulged in until late hour, when tin
